TOWHOM IT MAY CONCERN.: r

Be it known that I, JACOB K. ANDREWS, of New Providence, Lancaster county, State of Pennsylvania, have made new and useful Improvements in Window-Stops; and hereby declare the following to be a full and exact description of the same, reference being had to the drawings that accompany and form a. part of these specications, in whichl Figure 1 is a perspective view showing a window with the stops made in accordance 4withmy device. Figure 2 showing another method Of holding the stop in position. Figure 3 showing my method of arranging the partition bead that'dividcs the upper and lower sash. Figure 4, section showing detachable hinged joint.

Letter A, window-frameg letter B, sash; lettei` C, window-stop, provided with a hinge onbutton, als" `hereafter described; 'letter D, partition bead. V

The' object of my invention is to. priovidean easy method of removing `the sash or window for cleaning, repairing, or any other purpose, without defacing the paint or wood-work by withdrawing the nails or screws that are usually used for holding the window-stop in its place. i

I make the window-stop in two parts, connected either with a hinge, as shown in g'..1, or by a button, as shown in fig. 2, the joint being a littleabove the centre of the window. The upper part of the stopisjrmly fastened to the window-casing, the lowerend being fastened by av small bolt, as shown at e e in iig. 1l The partition bead that stands in the jamb-casings, I also make in two pieces; The upper partis made fast in the casing,

the lower part being held in position rby a tenon at the upper end, and by a spring at the bottom, as shown at i in g.. 3.' The hinges may be so placed upon the stops as to swing forward nto'theroom, as seen ingzl, at c, or across the'window, as shown by the red lines in fig. 1. YOne of these hinges, as shown at Zin fig. 1, firmly attaches the two parts. The other is so made that the lower part can be detached and entirely removed, as

`shown at c in lig. 1 or fig. 4. i

I donot confine myselfto any specific device for holding the stops in their places-at the bottom, which may be by a bolt, as shown, or otherwise. y i

What I claim as my invention, and desire to' secure by Letters Patent, isp Window-stops, when made in two parts, andarranged, connected, and operated substantially as described,

and forthe purpose specified. i V JACOB ANDREWS.
